The Things I Am Thankful For:

Today's good deed suggestion was to make a list of five things you are thankful for so I decided why not post mine? I won't list everything I'm thankful for or we'd be here a while, but here is my top five in no particular order (err, well I guess my cats last since that may be offensive to some):

I am thankful for my family.

Through tons of phone calls, lots of advice from my dad, my mom worrying, my sister and brother thinking I'm crazy, I can say they have all been there for me. Whether it's been participating in daily good deeds, giving me advice, sharing their ideas or telling me to slow down and chill out :) they have been behind the idea.

That's what we call the family pile.

I'm thankful for my boyfriend.

He's put up with me ignoring him since December as I dedicated all of my free time to SproutLaunch when I'm not at my normal 9-5 job.

When my neurotic side comes out and I run around the house freaking out about the website, he's that steady voice that keeps saying "I know you will make this work, stop worrying". I also think he's enjoying having total reign of the remote...

I'm thankful for my girlfriends.
I don't have a picture of all of us, but here is a snapshot of some of my girlfriends that help keep me sane! Although I've been a bit MIA lately with all the work, I know they still love me (gulp, I hope!).

I'm thankful for my pets.

Go ahead, call me crazy cat lady, I don't care, I love my babies! Being that I'm an animal fanatic, I can't imagine living in a home where I don't have a little snuggly animal curled up as I type. Gus and Jones are my support system that stay up with me all hours of the night while I update the site.

I'm thankful for all of the support and positive feedback so far with SproutLaunch.

From family, friends and strangers support and ideas, it makes me really believe this idea is going to work. In addition, since launching my change the world project, I've met so many incredible people out there who are looking to make a difference in the world as well. I'm inspired each day by the good deeds people submit. Keep them coming!

I’m impressed, I have to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you. you might have hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the problem is something that not sufficient people are speaking intelligently about. I am very joyful that I stumbled across this in my seek for something referring to this.

"We leave a small gift for our mail carrier every Christmas. This year it was a small gift bag containing Hershey Kisses and a $10 gift card for Starbucks. What Ohio mail carrier would not enjoy a warm Starbucks drink after braving the January weather elements all day!?!" ~ Dynette
"There is a homeless man who lives in an abandoned building near my job. He comes into the store I work at and just starts helping me clean the store. I try to give him what I can, i.e. food or cash. Today I gave him only $5.00 and because he was able to buy his lady friend who is also homeless a small belated Christmas gift he was so happy he smiled and showed me a mouth with no teeth after never seeing him smile. I had to cry later just to know that I made someone less fortunate than me so happy he smiled." ~ Maria
"Kept passing the sign at Memorial Sloan Kettering that said blood and platelet donors needed and finally acted on and donated a unit of blood. Eligible donors can donate blood about every 2 months!" ~ Lois

"I live in Fort Pierce FL where there is a lot of homeless on the street. There is a park downtown that many homeless go to every day. I wanted to bring Christmas to them so my son and I went to the park with a 1 foot Christmas tree, backpacks filled with MRE's, water, socks and toiletries. We also gave them wrapped Christmas gifts and baked goods. We helped about 22 homeless men."
"I gave my brother the last jar of homemade pickles I made, even though I love them so much myself." ~ Anne
"I went around my neighborhood and offered to take down and pack up people's outdoor Christmas decorations."
"My family recently went on vacation in Texas. My grandparents flew down to join us. My grandmother has Parkinson's Disease which makes it hard for her to move around. While we were on vacation, she needed lots of help. I helped her pick out her outfits, I folded her clothes, helped her use the restroom, got her meals and helped her get her medicine, to name a few. She said it blessed her in so many ways, and it blessed me to help her. :) "
